　　Chapter 55 Education Monthly

　　"How's your newspaper?" Mu-joon asked.

　　Sheng Chaohui started talking.

　　Sheng Chaohui's Education Newspaper was founded by him and a few classmates when they were in college.

　　Their original intention of running this newspaper is to publish summaries of the teaching experience of outstanding teachers in Shanghai, so that more teachers can see and learn from them.

　　Their idea is very good. If it is run by a big figure in the education field, it may be successful, but the key is that they are just a few students.

　　It is difficult for them to get in touch with those famous teachers. Even if they get in touch, they may not be free to write to them.

　　Even if someone else writes it, you print it and publish it, how to sell the newspaper is still a problem.

　　This kind of newspaper, the newspaper boy will definitely not be able to sell it, and of course the newspaper dealers will not want it. They can only sell it by themselves, but they need to have connections...

　　Sheng Chaohui and the others started out as a weekly newspaper. They published a newspaper every week. If they didn't have enough manuscripts, they wrote it themselves, but they couldn't sell it, so they had to give it to teachers in various schools.

　　In the end, they usually only publish one newspaper a month, so they still can't sell it, but at least they lose less money.

　　Waiting until now... Sheng Chaohui was a little embarrassed: "The people who ran the newspaper with me have already quit, and I can no longer support it by myself. I originally wanted to stop the newspaper, but the stories you tell may be able to Save this newspaper, do you want to buy shares?"

　　After he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Qiong and Wei Ting expectantly.

　　Wei Ting has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and looks like a very reliable person, but unfortunately...

　　Embarrassment appeared on his face: "I've been short of money recently."

　　Instead, Mu Qiong asked, "How much does it cost to run a newspaper?"

　　"I don't want much!" Sheng Chaohui said, "I usually print a thousand sheets at a time, and the wages for layout, printing fees, and paper purchases add up to about twenty or thirty silver dollars, and the most expensive thing is layout. "

　　When Sheng Chaohui runs a newspaper, except for the articles in it, he finds other people to do it. For example, the typesetting wage he said is the price for hiring a typesetter to type the words.

　　It costs a lot of money to hire compositors and typewriters, but printing actually doesn't cost much, and it is spread out evenly. The more newspapers are printed, the lower the cost of each newspaper. This is also because the newspapers can't be sold, but Sheng Chaohui still prints one. A thousand reasons.

　　Mu Qiong thought for a while, and said: "I think this education newspaper can still be run, but it really needs to be changed. For example, the customer group should be changed to children. In addition, if it really wants to publish the stories we wrote, then it is best to also Instead of running a newspaper, it is better to change it into a magazine, one issue per month, which is also easy to collect."

　　Today in Shanghai, there are major newspapers such as Shenbao News, as well as some other literary publications, but there are almost no publications for children.
